The seniors don’t need a computer or Internet service, just the Presto Mail service and Printing Mailbox. By installing this new service it will provide a renewed link between elders and their family that can significantly improve their quality of life and ability to age-in-place.
Note: The Presto Printing Mailbox does not work with VOIP (digital) phone lines. Ask the phone company whether a standard fax machine can be put on the line. If it can, then a Presto Printing Mailbox can be used with no problems. If not, ask if they can convert the digital line to analog right outside the home. Tell them it's for a fax machine. This is a viable solution.
Help relieve family stress Many children live far away from their aging parents. Presto allows them to help from a distance, making it much easier to spread some of the responsibility for helping care for Mom and Dad to other family members.

Whether you send reminders that a caregiver is coming, one of Presto’s automatically delivered crossword puzzles, or instructions from headquarters for a scheduled care provider, Presto can help make your business more efficient.
